boost groups
Imagine this...
|
Student A attends class and unfortunately, can't grasp all of the new information thrown at him today. Unsurprisingly, this isn't new. He often struggles and wishes he could hear it just ONE more time. He knows that's all it would take for the light bulb to click.
|
Student B attends class and wants additional practice however, one-on-one tutoring isn't necessary. She seeks to find a small group of her peers refreshing themselves of the lessons learned during the week.
